RE: Drabness: - check out the alpha demo - the youtube vids might not be a very good indicator in some cases.  While in game you can zoom in and out, and enjoy the action up close from the cockpit or chase cameras. From the first person only the fighter drones might feel small.

The ships have splashes of color and highlights using emissive lights (eg: windows). 

Having said that - the aim is not to be too colorful due to the nature of the harsh environment (asteroid fields) and theme (war), but I think it is unique to look at.

Hey guys, thanks for watching my last video!
I figured I should make an account here since I do mod stuff occasionally... 

Finished a video showing my mod pack version 13.6.10
Void Destroyer - Rinse and Repeat

I also made a video by request from MesoTroniK check it out:
Void Destroyer - Karakum, Weather Report = Heavy Rain

Hope you enjoy it!

Oh man. I just got at least three times more excited about this game just from the potential of a Blue Planet mod.

I PM'd the mod poster with an offer to - add in code to rotate the section that is supposed to be rotating- but never got a response (that I can recall). So...  hopefully he'll get back to me.

Also while I'm here - an update -

I did a pod cast with Space Game Junkie - here - http://www.spacegamejunkie.com/featured/sgj-podcast-17-void-destroyer-dark-souls-space-games/ - Void Destroyer - The Dark Souls of Space Games?

If you are interested in the indie development process, indie life, the thoughts of someone crazy enough to try this and the game itself - it is a neat listen. A conversation is a lot less dry then text on the screen.

Ya I've just been busy this week. I'll get back to you eventually.

I will be watching this with interest. It's always good to know our favorite genre definitely isn't dead. And hey, with the cyclic nature of nature, it's due for a revival!

[chaosavy]

People tend to say that both space sim and rts are dead.


Its funny because - they aren't - its just that they went the indie love way.

Reminds me, a few years back, you could see in gaming magazines about Command & Conquer: Tiberium. It was supposed to have a similar concept, except it was on the ground instead of a space shooter. You play as a commando but also you have to command friendly units on the ground RTS style. Sadly, due to what appears to be internal executive conflicts, it was cancelled.

Looking at the Void Destroyer website, the closest equivalent that exist today is the conquest missions in Call of Duty Black Ops 2, which would have been very enjoyable if not for the bad AI.

Bump for a new trailer.

Four days left in the Kickstarter.

Here is the last trailer, and it showcases some rather epic combat.

Backed it. Looks too much like Battlezone in Space to not support it

[chaosavy]

Thanks Mikes!

We are down to less than 48 - so you guys won't be spammed by me any more and I'll have to switch to the liquid form of sleep (caffeine).

Below is the final Kickstarter trailer  (Meso already linked it but I'll link it again ):

Hey guys! I haven't "promoted/marketed" since Kickstarter... over 60 days I believe. With the recent 100 games being greenlit Void Destroyer jumped up in rankings, we are now in the top 100 (out of over 1300). So I'm devoting some time to get even higher in the rankings.

So - if you haven't yet - please vote for Void Destroyer making it into Steam - http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=146068036 (since voting via the web page is somewhat clumsy you can also find Void Destroyer via going to the Steam Client - then clicking Community - then choosing Greenlight and entering in "Void Destroyer" into the search). And if you'd be so kind as to bug your Steam (and other) friends to vote that would be incredibly helpful as well.




Here is an updated video of updates since Kickstarter:

There is an updated demo on the main site here: http://www.VoidDestroyer.com so you can check out the changes.

Here's a vid where I talk about the recent mouse changes and time dilation system:

Here's a screen shot of the new repair ships:




Thank you!
